The Horse 2019/20

Hello Everyone

Last week, we forgot to show you our results of our gamesharing tasks. We want to apologise for that

We thought of a way of how people can share games efficiently. We found out, that there are two options (if you have more, feel free to inspire us in the comments!)

Option 1 : Sharing function on the PS4. The PS4 is the most popular console in this world and luckily, it has some sort of sharing functions, where two players can share all of their games together. It works like that. Every player has an own account and own console. Now, the two player need to log in to the other players console and mark their PS4 as their own PS4.  Like that, the original owner, can download all the games the other player bought. It is some sort of tricking around the system. The problem with this method is, that you can only share downloaded games and not the ones bought on a cd. But that's why we thought of a different method.

Option 2 : Share the Gaming CD's. First of all we thought of sharing the whole console. But not all of us live together with their gaming partner and that's why this method would have taken away a lot of fun. In addition to that, the gamers wouldn't be able to play at the same time.

So, we thought about of buying and sharing games together. This method would save a massive amount of CD's and a lot of energy would be spared. The only disadvantage would be, that the gamers cannot play the same games at the same time. But if they're anyway only storygame-players, this wouldn't cause any problems.

Either way, both methods would save a lot of energy, as downloading games and burning CD's uses a huge amount of energy.

So what did we do? We tried out the sharing function on the PS4 and started to play together. To be honest, we where very impressed and overwhelmed. We gave each other our log-in informations and started to play games TOGETHER, while only one of us bought the games. It didn't have any disadvantages, as we both only buy games online and not per CD. The only thing you need here is trust, because you give away each other your informations.

Then we asked some friends of ours, if they use this function too. And, impressingly, they don't. A lot of us don't even know about this function. So we started to inspire our friends to use this function while saving money, energy and downloads.

Today, we want to send out a survey to all the gamers we know. Stay tuned!

Best regards,

Hello Everyone

Deia and me wanted to introduce you our idea of game sharing. There are a lot of gamers in this world and a lot of energy have to be used to build the game stations, controllers or to handle the servers. Not to forget, a lot of electricity has to be used to game. So, if all the gamers decide to start sharing their game supplements and just play at other times, a lot of energy could be saved and the companies don‘t need to build so much stations.

We hope our idea has woken up your interest.

Regards,

Rezon and Deia

Nowadays digital archiving is a big topic. A lot of companies try to work paperless. Some of them are more advanced in this process than others. Companies try to keep dossiers online, a lot of exams are taken on the computer and for example the "schweizerische Bundesbahnen" (SBB) try to support the online purchase of their ticket in order to keep them on the mobile phone to avoid printing paper. This method is very ecofriendly.

In my opinion digitalization is a current topic which is very important, especially for our economy. I am confronted with it everyday, for example at work or at school. But digitalization can also be negative for our environment, because I've also heard about the fact, that energy can't just be reduced. That's why I'm very interested in this topic and why I would like to deepen my knowledge about it.

1. Sustainable Packaging 
[dont waste my energy]

This post is nice, because I find plastic realy bad. Plastic should be soustained with other things that are biological. Plastic is damaging our World and so many animals are killed by it. SO we should take care and not use this much plastic.

2. Food waste in Supermarkets

[dont waste my energy]

It's tragical that so much food is wasted. I like those companys that are offering the food to homeless people. I mean if no one is going to use it we can offer it to does. It is a good project.

3. Living without electricity

[dont waste my energy]

Crazy project, becaus no one would imagine to live without energy and water. Interesting how life goes without it and what opinions you have without those things. I think I would not be abel to do this.

I chose these three links because I'm very interested in agriculture and everything that has to do with it. I have been living on a farm in Hinwil since childhood and grew up with the animals and nature and so I also have been convoned from an early age. I love to work on our farm with the animals and the nature.

In my initial post ,  i had introduced my idea which includes looking into the agricultural methods used by the farmers in my country currently. By this we will have an idea on whether the farming methods used are harmful or not and while researching for this I had found many articles on the net :-

• Effects of pesticides on salmon
• Chemicals present in various food items
• The use of pesticides on food items

These are just some of the many articles present out there which More...

Hello together,

Our projectidea was to find out more about food waste in our big and small supermarkets here in Switzerland and around the world.

What are the differences between big and small supermarkets?

Which effect does the food waste have on climate change?

And what can be possible solutions?

We would like it if you share your experiences with us.

Kind regards,

As homework we had to calculate the energy of a meal. For my example I choose a "Choco Petite Beurre au lait".

1075 kJ = 0.298611111 kWh

I decided to calculate the energy of cottage cheese. It’s a small meal I really like to eat for lunch at school.

100g of cottage cheese has 88kcal.

Calculation:

1 kcal = 0.001163 kWh

88 x 0.001163 = 0.102344 kWh

To calculate the result I used the numbers from this homepage.

Our 4th task was to calculate the energy of a food with these three units of measurement: kilocalories (kcal), kilojoules (kJ) and kilowatt-hours (kWh). One of my favourite food is pizza so I choose that for my calculation: More...

We had the task to calculate the energy of a meal our choice, from kcal to kJ and kWh. Sunday is "brunch-day"! So i've chosen some delicious American-Style Pancakes: More...
